Here in Australia we don't celebrate Halloween like the do in the United States. However, I've been noticing it has been gaining popularity and last year I took my kids trick-or-treating for the first time. They loved it!
This year, we have been lucky enough to be invited to a pumpkin carving party. It was really fun to carve out the pumpkins. I was quite surprised to find that the insides were mostly seeds and there isn't much flesh, so you can't eat it. Here is my spooky castle.
And here are the pumpkins all together.
The pumpkins weren't edible, but there were lots of very creative things we could feast on, like these scary eyeballs made of lychee and blueberries.
I brought cupcakes with halloween toppers that I created. These are really easy to put together; you just print it, cut out the circles, then tape it to some toothpicks. My daughter really enjoyed putting them together.
